Modi also expressed support for Canada becoming a Dialogue Partner of the Indian Ocean Rim Association, the statement said.The ties between the two countries hit rock bottom following then-prime minister Justin Trudeau's allegations in 2023 of a potential Indian link to the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada.The two sides initiated a series of measures to rebuild the relations after Carney became the prime minister in March last year.
